The Canadian Ataxia Conference exists to elevate Ataxia awareness throughout the country while also raising funds for disability support and medical research for a cure. Ataxia is a neurological hereditary disease that has over 60 different gene types, experts believe that there are over 100 types yet to be identified. The many forms of Ataxia destroy mobility and central nervous system functions.

The Canadian Ataxia Conference 2013 will take place on Saturday October 12th and on Sunday October 13th. The two day conference will combine social, intellectual, and artistic features so the community and Ataxians can come together in many different ways.

This year's conference will have five core parts which are a Healthcare Assembly, a Treatments and Research Discovery session, a Concert Opera, Social Banquet, and a Financial Seminar with closing ceremonies.

The Conference will be held at the Central Library building, 251 Dundas St. London Ontario. The sessions will take place in the Stevenson & Hunt rooms and Crush Lobby, the Concert Opera will take place in the Wolf Performance Hall.
